Charles Starkweather and his 14-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, the real life inspiration for Mickey and Mallory from ‘Natural Born Killers’
For two months in 1958, Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, left a trail of 11 dead bodies across Nebraska and Wyoming. Their victims were anyone unfortunate enough to get in their way, including Fugate’s parents and a wealthy Nebraska couple they had robbed.
Their crimes were considered so senselessly violent that Wyoming Governor Milward Simpson personally pushed for Starkweather’s execution — even though he was against the death penalty.
